I'm starting to hate my job

/rant

I commute for an hour in a car to it. 20 mins on the SV.

I'm thinking of moving closer to where I work but as of late I've been growing more and more resentful of how my boss does business.

I'm his personal assistant who's been there for him from the start of the company (it's new but we have 20 mill in funding already and doing something major so it's 24/7 work) and went out on my limb for him to show him my worth but I'm starting to get the sense that he's simply not worth all the trouble.

By Saturday I have to decide whether to drop the lease here and move closer or not. And after today's incident I'm about ready to cut the string and treat it as just your normal 9-5 job, put in only enough effort to earn my pay, and leave it as it is.

How does this relate to bikes? It doesn't really except the ride from home to work is great on my SV, and he has me take the car sometime to drive his clients around, get food for major conference meetings, etc. So today I took the car, sat in traffic for 2 hrs (1 hr both ways) and then had to deal with this one incident that put me into a rather poor mood.

He's been pretty much treating me as a clerk rather than the earlier agreed upon terms of a right hand man. The pay is good but only good enough for a clerk not for the work I've done. So far I've been doing things like running payroll, setting up health, dental, 401k, phone lines, random tech research, handling all new hire stuff and all other employee questions/issues, handling all IT stuff, and a million other things like taking my work home and being on call 24/7, doing my own research, keeping him on top of everything off hours, blah blah.

But more importantly, I've been on occasion taking my car to work instead of the SV and now I have to make the decision to move to the closer location whereas commuting by the SV is fine and enjoyable. (The only downside, this location has no off street parking but it hasn't been an issue, yet).

So I've been thinking, to find a better paying job (albeit one where I don't learn as much because here I definitely learned a TON), or a similar paying job with less work where I'm treated properly (i.e. I've had jobs where I was treated like a nobody but it was ok since that was sort of the expectation from the start), OR I could suck it up, and simply restart my entire thinking of how to handle this position and do my part of the clerk as a 9-5 assistant, go home, forget about the work, collect my check, and do absolutely nothing extra. (Btw, I'm in school and doing well enough to get into Harvard Law, so this job is not something long term for me).

Here is the kicker, what that would entail is.. I'd take my SV to work everyday. And if he wants one of his consultants (each of whom he pays 150-450 an hour btw), driven around he can he can 1) hire a friggin taxi or 2) tell em to bring a helmet.

Sorry I'm just so frustrated. I wasted two weeks of my time getting T-Mobile, setting up appointments with t-mobile reps, going through all kinds of bs with them, only to find out that what do you know, my boss changed his mind and he doesn't want business lines. Ok fine. But then as I was about to leave today, I find out that to cancel my service (which I still can), I have to wait 4 weeks before T-mobile pays me back my 500 bucks. And yes, I paid with my card, expecting to simply submit an expense report this week. But that wasn't even it, as I'm walking out, the friggin boss turns to me and goes, that business rep called, why didn't you go through him to set-up the account.. he came here, spent his time, he should've gotten the commission.. you need to call him and apologize. This is after he told me to test ride T-Mobile on my own, after I used my own damn card, and after he didn't respond back to the guy himself when that guy asked him for the proper business info (tax id etc) because he was unsure.

Nevermind the fact I wasted 2 friggin weeks chasing that guy down, got the wrong info from him, got overcharged, got a broken phone (to replace which they wanted to charge me another 350, and I woulda had to wait 4 weeks for the original 350 to be put back on my card... last straw for me), spent my money, received not only not a thank you but an "oh nevermind it'll cost me a couple hundred bucks to switch from sprint which isn't really worth it" from a guy who makes millions a year.

I'm a full time student with loans piling up for a 40k a year school, eating Ramen, going out on a limb for a guy who expects me to leave my SV at home whenever he doesn't wanna pay 20 bucks for a taxi.

/sigh

I was about to waste my free time learning this new programming code (a position for which he's actually hiring a guy and paying him 4 times more than me) that I know I can learn and help the company immensly but I'm staring at a stack of no less than 20 LSAT books and now I'm thinking, I better start being more selfish.

On a good end note, I installed new red bar ends to my red SV 650 today and despite this stupid Boston rain, I'm taking her out for a spin tomorrow.
